Application Programming Interface
In computer programming, an application programming interface (API) is
a set of subroutine definitions, protocols, and tools for building
application software. In general terms, it is a set of clearly defined
methods of communication between various software components. A good
API makes it easier to develop a computer program by providing all the
building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer. An API
may be for a web-based system, operating system, database system,
computer hardware or software library. An API specification can take
many forms, but often includes specifications for routines, data
structures, object classes, variables or remote calls. POSIX, Windows
API and ASPI are examples of different forms of APIs

Like Button
A like button, like option, or recommend button is a feature in
communication software such as social networking services, Internet
forums, news websites and blogs where the user can express that they
like, enjoy or support certain content.[1] Internet services that
feature like buttons usually display the number of users who liked
each content, and may show a full or partial list of them. This is a
quantitative alternative to other methods of expressing reaction to
content, like writing a reply text. Some websites also include a
dislike button, so the user can either vote in favour, against or
neutrally

Python (programming Language)
Python is an interpreted high-level programming language for
general-purpose programming. Created by
Guido van RossumGuido van Rossum and first
released in 1991, Python has a design philosophy that emphasizes code
readability, notably using significant whitespace. It provides
constructs that enable clear programming on both small and large
scales.[26]
Python features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management.
It supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented,
imperative, functional and procedural, and has a large and
comprehensive standard library.[27]
Python interpreters are available for many operating systems. CPython,
the reference implementation of Python, is open source software[28]
and has a community-based development model, as do nearly all of its
variant implementations

Shadow BanningShadow banning (also called stealth banning, ghost banning or comment
ghosting[1]) is the act of blocking a user or their content from an
online community such that the user does not realize that they have
been banned.
By making a user's contributions invisible or less prominent to other
members of the service, the hope is that in the absence of reactions
to their comments, the problematic user will become bored or
frustrated and leave the site.[1][2]
History[edit]
Michael Pryor of
Fog Creek SoftwareFog Creek Software described stealth banning for
online forums in 2006, saying how such a system was in place in the
project management system FogBugz, "to solve the problem of how do you
get the person to go away and leave you alone"

Pseudonym
A pseudonym (/ˈsjuːdənɪm/ or /ˈsuːdənɪm/ SEW-də-nim) or alias
is a name that a person or group assumes for a particular purpose,
which can differ from their original or true name (orthonym).[1]
Pseudonyms include stage names and user names (both called screen
names), ring names, pen names, nicknames, aliases, superhero or
villain identities and code names, gamer identifications, and regnal
names of emperors, popes, and other monarchs. Historically, they have
often taken the form of anagrams, Graecisms, and Latinisations,
although there are many other methods of choosing a pseudonym.[2]
Pseudonyms should not be confused with new names that replace old ones
and become the individual's full-time name. Pseudonyms are "part-time"
names, used only in certain contexts – usually adopted to hide an
individual's real identity, as with writers' pen names, graffiti
artists' tags, resistance fighters' or terrorists' noms de guerre, and
computer hackers' handles
